Waconia’s Schram Named One of the Best Breweries Outside Twin Cities

According to Thrillist, Schram Vineyards Winery & Brewery is one of best breweries outside the Twin Cities metro area, joining seven other breweries from around Minnesota.

Here’s what the website said about the brewery and winery:

“As the only combination winery/brewery in Minnesota, Schram offers a unique drinking experience. The family-owned farm started brewing in 2014, and it’s maintained a constant inventive streak that’s made its beer well worth the two-mile dirt road you have to take to get to the estate. The sprawling lakefront grounds include bocce courts, shady oaks, and a warm HGTV vibe that permeates every drop of beer. It’s also the only beer maker in Minnesota that has an IPA fermented in a square concrete vessel — an oddity that justifies the trip in and of itself. Schram’s beer menu changes frequently, with at least eight drafts of varying styles, but try not to visit on Sunday. While the business is open, Schram’s license doesn’t allow for pint and flight sales on Sundays.”
